Could someone please tell me where I can find the Coding for DBZ Zeta! I have been looking everywhere, but can't find it. Not that I'm gonna make a rip-off game, I just want to have something to use to start off my game.

This sure isn't the place to be asking...

Wait a minute... haven't we heard this before from someone else?

RaeKwon - Since the Zeta-1 code has already been stolen and spread, how about releasing it as a Tutorial? Zeta-1 code is a very very good way to learn the DM language. What do you say? (PS: I'm trying to be constructive so please be nice!)

It's about as good for learning DM as, uhh, the NASA programs for controlling space shuttle launches are for learning assembly.
In case you didn't understand my pointless analogy, it's like giving a monkey a computer. He won't understand a word of it, but will hoot and smash the keyboard anyway. If you didn't understand that analogy either, then it's a bad idea, because giving newbies a source to a game will simply lead to trouble, as they couldn't understand it, and will simply host it and call it their own. If you didn't understand that, you should be shot. | |
Well, a week after school got out 6 months ago, I knew no coding at all... I sat down and said to myself "I'm bored, why not learn this stuff?" So I stumbled upon the Zeta coding, got it, and set to work... Changing this and changing that, and constantly reading the help file for Dream Maker... And I learned it...

I learned DM by reading tutorials and demos. I read them and used the help files to figure them out. I never use a demo unless I completely understand it. Here is a timeline for your viewing pleasure:
7/15/02: I have absolutely no idea what BYOND is 7/16/02: I discover DWO, and discover BYOND 7/22/02: I discover a program called Dream Maker, and the programming language DM 7/29/02: I start work on my first game for BYOND (all coded by me) 8/1/02: I post my first game on BYOND 11/1/02: That game has over 3000 downloads, is in BYOND.FanGames, and I have made about $25 from it total time elapsed: roughly 3.5 months time to learn DM enough to post a "decent" game: 9 days Ok, maybe I am bragging a little. My point is that there are plenty of resources available for you to learn DM that you don't need to steal someone else's code to "learn" from. It's a great idea, let every game be open-source so we can all learn from each other. But unfortunately there are some scumbags out there that ruin it for the rest of us. The tutorials are great. They will help you learn the very basics of the language. Then you can study demos to learn more. Then you can start work on a creation of your own, and use the help files and post questions on the forum to help. Nowhere in that process is "rip someone's game". | |
Kamion, the chances of Dracon posting Zeta as open-source is 1 in a millionth. Not Zeta-1, not Zeta-2, and not Zeta-3 or even the new Zeta.
